NYC terminating contracts with Trump Organization after Capitol riot

City Hall will yank the Trump Organization’s multimillion-dollar contracts to operate four popular attractions in the Big Apple’s public parks, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced Wednesday.

“The contracts make very clear that if the company and the leadership of that company is engaged in illegal activity, we have a right to severe the contract,” de Blasio said on MSNBC’s ‘Morning Joe’ on Wednesday morning. “Inciting an insurrection against the United States government clearly constitutes criminal activity.”

Pelosi Names Eric Swalwell As House Impeachment Manager

https://www.zerohedge.com/poli...-impeachment-manager

Speaker Nancy Pelosi shocked many in Washington by appointing Eric Swalwell as a house managers in the impeachment of President Donald Trump as he continues to face calls for his removal from the House Intelligence Committee due to his alleged intimate relationship with a Chinese spy.

Swalwell has been hunkered down to avoid questions from the media and the public, but he will now be one of those prosecuting the case against the President.

He allegedly first met the spy, Fang Fang or Christine Fang, in 2011. She not only raised money for Swalwell but reportedly had a personal relationship with him. She also pushed successfully for his office to accept an intern. He cut ties with her in 2015 after the FBI contacted him. Pelosi made no mention of the scandal in heralding Swalwell’s credentials:

“Congressman Swalwell serves on House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, where he chairs the Intelligence Modernization and Readiness Subcommittee, and on the Judiciary Committee,” Pelosi’s office said in a statement. “He is a former prosecutor and is the son and brother of law enforcement officers. He is serving his fifth term in Congress.”

Usually a speaker selects House managers to reinforce the credibility and integrity of the case against a president. Even before the current scandal, Swalwell was viewed as a member who was a raw partisan. Last year, it was revealed that (despite long denials) the FBI did send an agent to report on his observations within the Trump campaign. As I discussed in a column, Democratic members spent years mocking allegations that there was any spying or surveillance of Trump or his campaign by the FBI. That was just a conspiracy theory. Now however there is proof that the FBI used a briefing in August 2016 of then candidate Trump to gather information for “Crossfire Hurricane,” the Russia investigation. It turns out that it did not really matter after all and Rep. Eric Swalwell did not miss a step. Swalwell declared that such targeting of the opposing party and its leading presidential candidate was “the right thing to do.” That’s it. A conspiracy theory suddenly becomes a commendable act.

The plan is to attack Trump and his family nonstop after he is out of office. Regardless of evidence or proof. The swamp on both sides of the aisle want he and his family gone.

Rush to judgement? Three crucial questions remain unanswered about Capitol siege

What did Nancy Pelosi know? A prior plot or spontaneous riot? Were there inside facilitators?

https://justthenews.com/govern..._campaign=newsletter

One thing recent history has taught America is the first storyline of major tragedies or controversies is never the most accurate.

Americans were told by the Bush administration that they were sucker-punched by a surprise attack on 9/11 by terrorists, only to learn the CIA and FBI had significant advance evidence of the plot and its players and failed to connect the dots.

Susan Rice originally told the nation that the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi was carried out spontaneously by a mob angered by an anti-Muslim video. The attack, it turned out, was pre-planned and carried out by an al-Qaeda-aligned terror group in Libya.

The country was assured Christopher Steele's dossier provided credible evidence of Donald Trump colluding with Russia, when in fact the CIA and FBI knew almost immediately it was uncorroborated and based in part on Russian disinformation.

And now just a week after the heinous and deadly siege of the U.S. Capitol, the final narrative of what actually happened is still being written, revised and unmasked.

Since the weekend, major bombshell revelations already have substantially revised the initial story of a spontaneous mob overrunning an unsuspecting Capitol police force.

The FBI admitted Tuesday it received information ahead of the Jan. 6 tragedy suggesting some participants were planning a "war" on the Capitol, including killing officers and distributing maps of the complex. It alerted Washington D.C. law enforcement through the joint terrorism task force alert system. It also "disrupted" the travel plans of some of the suspected trouble-makers.

"We developed some intelligence that a number of individuals were planning to travel to the D.C. area with intentions to cause violence," Assistant Director Steven M. D'Antuono said. "We immediately shared that information, and action was taken."

The New York Police Department is reported to have given the Capitol Police similar intelligence warnings of impending violence.

The chief federal prosecutor in Washington declared Tuesday he is pursuing conspiracy charges, signaling the attacks on the Capitol involved multiple acts and multiple conspirators working in concert with each other. The prosecutor talked about the planting of carefully constructed IEDs as one such act. In other words, there was pre-planning for some elements of last Wednesday's chaos.

And the official timeline of events constructed by the New York Times through videos shows protesters began breaching the perimeter of the Capitol a full 20 minutes before Trump finished his speech.

This new evidence raises the first compelling question that remains unanswered. How could Trump incite an attack that had already been pre-planned and was in motion before his speech ended?

A senior intelligence official told Just the News he has found no evidence that the president, the White House or the National Security Council was alerted in formal intelligence briefings to the pre-warnings or suspicions of violence the FBI and NYPD have admitted they had.

D'Antuono explained that one of the concerns the FBI had was trying to distinguish whether those writing "despicable things on the internet are just practicing keyboard bravado or they actually have the intent to do harm."

Former NYPD Commissioner Bernard Kerik told Just the News on Tuesday it appeared the FBI and NYPD did their job in alerting the Capitol Police, but the evidence of a pre-planned attack would undercut the current narrative that Trump had incited a spontaneous insurrection.

"By all accounts, the FBI, NYPD and other authorities did exactly what they should have done by conducting interviews and making notifications to the Washington D.C. authorities," Kerik said. "If these reports are true, you cannot incite a group that already pre-planned acts of violence by days or weeks, and it raises serious questions as to what security precautions were taken at the Capitol as a result."

Getting the facts to resolve this question is essential for congressional and federal investigators, both for the legacy of Trump and for learning how to avoid a repeat of the deadly tragedy that struck last Wednesday.

The second major question that remains unanswered is: What did House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the other leaders in Congress know — and when did they know it — about the possibility for violence and the Pentagon's pre-attack offer to send National Guardsmen to reinforce the Capitol Police?

The U.S. Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund, who resigned after the attack, told The Washington Post that security officials at the House and Senate rebuffed his early request to call in the National Guard ahead of a protest.

Sund alleged that House Sergeant-at-Arms Paul Irving was concerned with the "optics" of declaring an emergency ahead of the protests and rejected a National Guard presence. He says Senate Sergeant-at-Arms Michael Stenger recommended that he informally request the Guard to be ready in case it was needed to maintain security.

Irving and Stenger have not talked publicly. But their account will be essential to the final effort to assign accountability for the glaring security lapses exposed last Wednesday. The key questions for both men is whether they warned Pelosi or Senate Leaders Mitch McConnell and Chuck Schumer about the violence concerns or consulted with the leaders about the idea of activating the Guard.

Democrats for weeks were concerned by the pro-Trump rally and previously had criticized Trump for using National Guard to quell Black Lives Matter riots in the summer. The leadership's discussions with their security chiefs now becomes an essential investigative focus.

Finally, there is this troubling third question: Were there facilitators inside the Capitol and outside it who instigated or enabled the attack to be carried out?

Rep. James Clyburn (D-S.C.) one of the House's longest serving and most respected members, first raised this question a few days ago. He aptly noted that protesters were able to locate and penetrate his unlisted, unmarked office within minutes, raising the possibility they had inside help.

And video taken contemporaneously shows officers and other people opening doors to rushing rioters and some people — purported by the filming cameramen to be leftist anarchists —smashing windows and urging protesters to jump into the Capitol.

Identifying any insider help and the motives will be the final and perhaps most delicate task investigators face.

I keep hearing about the number of investigations, and how quickly the FBI was to track these capitol miscreants down to issue them their trespassing tickets.

But I never heard about the number of investigations or those that they tracked down to interview regarding the election issues. Anybody know that data?

I am sure those public parks have been very popular places over the past 9 months. Big Grin Trump should pull the contracts himself with the shortest notice period allowable by law.

It's really not a surprise. Nancy Pelosi doesn't care one bit what any conservative thinks. She pushes her agenda and laughs at anyone who questions her. Remember the salon incident? She shamelessly blamed the salon for 'tricking' her to not wear a mask, got it shut down and laughed in their faces. She knows the media won't question her and her base will cheer anything she does.

Apparently, posing with Nancy's lectern is a crime far worse than defrauding the entire country and forcing an illegitimate President upon us.

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

Samantha Power, Who Asked to Unmask Michael Flynn, Nominated by Biden to Top Post

https://www.theepochtimes.com/...op-post_3655033.html

The former Obama administration official who records show she asked to unmask retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn despite her saying under oath that she did not, was nominated by President-Elect Joe Biden for a position on Wednesday.

Samantha Power, who served as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations under President Barack Obama, told lawmakers in 2017 that she didn’t recall requesting to unmask, or deanonymize, Flynn, a top adviser and then incoming nationals security adviser to Donald Trump.

But declassified records in May showed that Power requested to unmask Flynn seven times.

Former U.S. Attorney John Bash was tasked with probing the unmasking requests but left his office last year with no public conclusion of the probe. Power hasn’t appeared to have had to answer for the contradictory testimony she gave.

In a press release on Wednesday, Biden’s team announced that the Democrat has tabbed Power as his nominee for administrator of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) while elevating the position to become a member of the National Security Council.

Yeah. I have argued that with friends who don't seem to get that there is nothing the rioters could have done to overthrow the government so it was not a coup attempt.

Trump wasn't there, Biden wasn't there, Harris wasn't there, the Cabinet wasn't there, and SCOTUS wasn't there. And even if some rioters did intend harm to any Congressman or Senator (two people seen with zip tie handcuffs), there is a line of succession for every position, or a process to select a replacement. Just more anti-Trump hyperbole. No one person or group of people is the U.S. Government, and the military is not going to side with rioters.

Remember that virtually every coup in foreign governments occurs because the opposition WITH THE BACKING OF THE MILITARY seizes power, or because REBEL FORCES OVERTHROW THE MILITARY leaving no defense for the current government who usually flee if they are not captured. In any case you need military support. Thinking of France and the beheading of the royals by a mob, was the military complicit?

REPs lost two senate seats that will come up again soon for another election

As best I understand it,

The seat now held by DEM Warnock in GA will be up for election again in 2022

The seat now held by DEM Mark Kelly in Arizona will be up for election again in 2022

These spots are not currently 6 year positions because the prior REP senators did not complete a full term. (McCain in Arizona, Isakson in
Georgia)

If REPs can get their act together, it is possible for them to take the House and Senate in the 2022 election.
